Steroids at Penn State?

From the NDNATION.COM: Take note, Pennsylvania residents, as Attorney General, Governor Corbett stalled the investigation of Sandusky in an effort to avoid any negative backlash in the gubernatorial campaign. If Corbett didn’t pull a Paterno, Sandusky might have been arrested long ago.
This article should also clear up the conspiracy theories from this board which suggested the AG’s office waited for Paterno to get the all time wins record before bringing charges against Sandusky. As always in Harrisburg, it’s all about politics.
The question it leads to is, what was Sandusky’s involvement with narcotics, specifically steroids, and does that shine some light on why he had such preferred status on campus? It hasn’t been a secret in Pennsylvania athletics that steroids are, uh, a well known part of the PSU football program, but nobody has had the balls to track that story down before. Maybe this is a start:
“Tom didn’t want to do it” but Narcotics Agent nabs Sandusky

In March 2009, Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira referred the Jerry Sandusky pedophile investigation to Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett. DA Madeira cited a personal conflict of interest involving a relative.
AG Corbett told key members of his staff that he did not want to actively pursue the Sandusky case. “Tom didn’t want to do it,” one Corbett associate explains. At the time AG Corbett had plans to run for governor.
Per standard procedure, the case was assigned to a state trooper and a prosecutor. Nevertheless, without Corbett’s approval and without the active shepherding of the AG, the investigation went nowhere.
By late 2010, AG Corbett had been elected governor of Pennsylvania. Corbett was engaged in his transition to the governor’s office, and so was no longer an obstacle to the Sandusky investigation
Also, in November 2010, a separate investigation involving AG office narcotics Agent Anthony Sassano finally broke the Corbett-imposed logjam in the Sandusky case. Sassano is an agent in the Office of Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control.
